canopy, in three sections, will extend over the court, and long 
streamers of white and gold will be suspended in every direction. 
The capitals will be massed with shields bearing coats-of-arms, 
flags of all nations, and trailing maiden-hair fern. The coats-of- 
arms of the States will be placed on the fronts of the balconies, 
in the centre of the court will be a grand golden gate, consisting 
of a series of arches. The tloial decorations will be on a scale 
of beauty never belbre attempted, and the electrical illuminations 
will be wonderful in their brilliant effects. The Presidential 
suite and Committee Room will be on second floor, and the 
promenade of the Presidential party will be down the western 
stairway, passing the gate to the ball-room, and thence to the 
supper-rooms, in the northeast corner of the building. The 
promenade music will be furnished by Gilmore's Band, and the 
dancing music by Haley's Orchestra. Every one not attending

ASHINGTON havina; been the first President, the history of 
inaugural ceremonies commences with his induction into ot^ke. 
His journey from Mount Vernon to Federal Hall, New York, 
was an o\Mtion th.e entire route. He had a militai'v escort to church, 
and in the afternoon he received members of Congress and the public. In 
the evening there was a fireworks display. At his second inauguration, 
which took place in Philadelphia, the military display was verv fine, and on 
that occasion was given the first Inaugural Ball. 

JOHN ADAMS was inaugurated in Philadelphia in 1797, and he also had 
a large military display. During his administration the seat of Government 
was removed to Washington. 

JEFFERSON was elected by the House of Representatives. Owing to 
the ill-feeling between Jefferson and Adams, the latter did not attend the 
former's inauguration. The Washington .Artillery and the Alexandria Rifies 
filed salutes at sunrise and at noon, and had a parade. Jefferson rode to the 
j Capitol on horseback, — hence the expression "Jeffersonian simplicity," — 
although he h.id intended to dri\e to the Capitol in a coach and four, but 
they did not arrive in time. There was no ball given at this inauguration. 

At MADISON'S two and MONROE'S two inaugurations soldiers of the 
Revolution had places in the parades. .A remarkable fict is that Monroe 
was elected the second teini by every electoral vote save one. 

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, the next President, was declared elected by 
the House ol Representatives, although Jackson had received moie votes in 
the electoral college. His inauguration w.is a magnificent affair and took 
place in the hall of the House of Represent.itives. All subsequent inaugura- 
tions have taken place in the open air.

ACKSON was elected by an immense majority to succeed Adams, 
and the parade at his inauguration was the largest that had taken 
place up to that time. Jackson was more popular at the time 
of his second than at his first election, as was evinced by the immense 
parade on the occasion of his second inauguration. 

Mr. VAN BUREN had a very fine display when he succeeded Jackson. 

Everybody has heard of the campaign of ''Tippecanoe and Tyler too," and 
how it resulted in the election of Gen. HARRISON. The parade was very 
imposing, consisting of military companies, clubs, and trade displays, log 
cabins with barrels of hard cider, coons and roosters, stretching out over a 
mile. It was a very stormy day, yet the General rode bare-headed to and 
from the Capitol, fr.om which exposure he contracted a heavy cold, and died 
within a month. It was generally believed by the Whigs, of whose party 
Harrison was a member, that he had been foully dealt with. The funeral 
procession was verv sombre and imposing. TYLER, the Vice-President, 
filled out the term. 

POLK was the next President elected, and his inauguration was the most 
brilliant that had occurred, many military and political organizations from the 
near-by States participating, including the Independent Blues, of Baltimore; 
Savage Guards, from Annapolis Junction; the Columbian Artillery; the Em- 
pire Club, of New York; the Jackson and Young Hickory Clubs. Mr. Polk 
was escorted to the Capitol with Mr. Tyler, and, afterwards, at the White 
House, he received congratulations' from the public. 

TAYLOR had the Mexican heroes in his parade, among them being 
Generals Scott, Wool, Qiiitman, and Gaines. There was quite a number of 
military organizations in line, and several companies of bovs drawing guns 
by hand. Taylor's personal escort was composed ol a hundi'ed young men.

N the evening there were three Inaugural Balls, given in different 
places in the city, and the President attended each. Gen. Taylor 
died before the expiration of his term. His funeral procession 
WMS \eiv large, and even larger than his inaugural parade. The funeral 
car was drawn by eight white horses, followed by the General's horse, 
"Old Whitey.'' Mr. FILLMORE, the Vice-President, filled out the term. 

Gkn. pierce, of the Mexican War. was the next President, and was 
elected over Gen. Scott, his former commandei'. Mr. Fillmore accompanied 
Gen. Pierce at his inauguration, and, with Mrs. Fillmore, welcomed the 
Piesident to the White House. The weather was very inclement, yet a 
large civic and military display was made and many thousands witnessed 
the ceremonies at the Capitol. A large reception to the public at the White 
House followed in the evening. 

Mr. BUCHANAN, accompanied by President Pierce, was next inaugu- 
rated. The day was beautiful and spring-like, and an immense number of 
people witnessed the parade, which consisted of military and civic clubs, a 
good number of which came from a distance. The decorations along the 
line of march weie vei y elaborate. 

LINCOLN, the martyr President, came next. He was the first Republican 
elected to the Presidency. On his journey from Illinois to Washington there 
was an immense outpouring of the people along the route to shake hands 
with him, — "Old Abe," as he was called, being immensely popular with the 
masses. He was elected for a second teim and but a little over a month 
following his inauguration — on April 14, iSbs — he was assassinated. His 
luneral was the greatest ever known in history, his body being laid out in 
state in nearly every large city until it reached its final resting-place, at 
Springfield, Illinois, 

JOHNSON, the Vice-President, filled out the term. His attitude was so 
antagonistic to his party that impeachment proceedings were commenced 
against him, but they failed.

EN. GRANT succeeded Johnson, and was also elected t'oi' a second 
term. The second inauguration of Grant occuired on one of 
the coldest days ever known in Washington, and many died 
from the effects of the weather and from colds contracted at the hiaugural 
Ball, for which an immense frame structure had been built. After the 
parade, the officers of the West Point Cadets were so frost-bitten that they 
had to be lifted from their horses. 

In the case of Grant's successor, because of some irregularities in the 
returns, Congress appointed an Electoral Commission, which decided in 
favor of HAYES over Tilden, the Democratic candidate. Hayes' adminis- 
tration was brilliant socially. One of the features of the dinners at the 
White House during his term was the tabooing of all intoxicating liquors. 

Unfortunate GARFIELD was the next President. He was shot by an 
assassin shortly after his inauguration, but lingered until September, when 
he died. His funeral was the saddest and most impressive ever witnessed 
in Washington. 

Gen. ARTHUR, who tilled out the teini, was celebrated for his clean, 
conservative administration and for his great personal charm. 

CLEVELAND followed Arthur. As to weather, the 4th of March. 188s. 
was an ideal day, and the inauguration was attended by the largest crowd 
ever at the Capitol. People came from ail over the country to witness the 
event. 

HARRISON was next elected. The day of his inauguration was rav\' and 
lainv, but there was, notwithstanding, a fine military and civic parade from 
the Capitol to the White House. The Inaugural Ball was held in the Pension 
Building. 

Harrison v.'as succeed by CLEVELAND (his second term). The inaugu- 
ration was largely attended, and the paiade was very tine. The Inaugural 
Ball was held in the court of the Pension Building, and was the finest 
public ball ever given in this country, eighteen thousand people being on 
the floor at one time.
